Car deck, The Clansman A Caledonian MacBrayne ferry during a time of upheaval and service problems for the service. The deck is empty as on a Wednesday the service to Coll and Tiree continues to Barra and many got off at Scarinish and few got on.  I did not have to reverse on, just drove a loop around the deck.
